JAMIE VARDY and Swansea City have shared a certain symmetry over the last three months, but it is a coincidence Garry Monk will be desperate to end at the Liberty Stadium today.

Swansea boss Garry Monk hopes to put an end to Jamie Vardy's scoring run

Having broken Ruud van Nistelrooy's record for scoring in consecutive Premier League games, Leicester striker Vardy can level Jimmie Dunne's English record of 12 against the Swans, who could have signed him from Fleetwood in 2012.

The England international already has 14 goals to his name this season, the same tally as the entire Swansea squad have managed, while his scoring streak started on the last weekend of August, which also happens to be the last time one of the Welsh club's strikers found the net.

Their poor form in front of goal has played a key part in Swansea's poor run of one win in 10 Premier League games, and Monk admits the goal-shy Swans need to find their shooting boots.

Monk said: "Goals are the stat that decides matches and of course we need to improve in that area as a team.

"We have been working on it. When you get confidence and belief back, the players will express themselves more."

Swansea have also failed to keep a clean sheet since a goalless stalemate against Everton in mid-September, but Monk is backing the likes of Ashley Williams and Neil Taylor to help finally end Vardy's remarkable scoring sequence.
